Abstract
A box, particularly suitable for containing packs of pharmaceutical products, which is formed from a single piece of cardboard and defines in its interior a pocket into which an illustrative leaflet or the like is inserted during the box manufacture, the box comprising a projecting tab which covers, and is superposed on, the free end of the illustrative leaflet to prevent it interfering with the packs during their insertion into the box.
Claims5
A box having a panel folded into its interior to define a pocket for housing an illustrative leaflet or the like, wherein at least from that side of the panel defining said pocket which faces that end of the box through which articles be contained therein are to be inserted, there projects a tab which is rotatable about a crease line provided in the panel, such that said tab can be turned outwards from the box to define a chute which facilitates the insertion of the articles into the box and prevents their interference with the panel defining the pocket and with the illustrative leaflet housed therein.
A box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard or the like, defining an internal pocket for containing an extractable leaflet, comprising:
- at least four consecutive main panels,
- a flap which projects from the first main panel and is superposed on and glued to the last main panel in the finished box,
- an end panel which projects from the last main panel and has a width substantially equal to that of the first main panel, which it faces in the box interior to form with said first panel a pocket for containing said leaflet,
- at least one panel for closing at least one end of the box, the main panels, the end panel and said flap being separated one from the other by parallel longitudinal folding lines,
- in which:
- from the penultimate main panel there projects a supplementary panel separated from it by a folding line transverse to said longitudinal folding lines, from said supplementary panel there projecting a tab separated from it by a likewise longitudinal folding line, the supplementary panel and the tab projecting from it being folded into the box interior about their folding lines such that the supplementary panel and respectively said tab are superposed on the penultimate main panel and respectively on that main panel adjacent to it on the side towards the first panel, the main panels and also the end panel being folded about their longitudinal folding lines such that the end panel becomes superposed on the first main panel in the box interior to form therewith said pocket, while the free longitudinal edge of the end panel rests on the free longitudinal edge of the tab of the supplementary panel, which supports this end panel to prevent it from flexing towards the interior of the box, characterised in that at least from that side of the panel which faces that end of the box through which articles to be contained therein are to be inserted, there projects a tab which is rotatable about a crease line provided in the same panel, such that said tab can be turned outwards from the box to define a chute which facilitates the insertion of the articles into the box and prevents their interference with the panel defining the pocket and with the illustrative leaflet housed therein.
